It's time for the butcher's bill over the silly corona restrictions, and none will ever connect the two to together.

  Your statement is ambiguous. Are you saying some of the covid restrictions were silly, and should be removed, or are you saying all the restrictions were silly and should be removed?

  Most of the people here are from the professional class. Not real hurt as much by Covid restrictions. Some even benefitted by being able to work from home, they benefitted from election rule changes, from online censorship, and so on. So they don't really understand how much the restrictions are loathed by the working poor, who were already on the brink of bankruptcy pre covid restrictions.

    It is very tiresome to witness this time and time again in the inflation discussion.

    Personally I didn’t benefit but my position allowed me to absorb the destruction of investment wealth and surprise child care expenses when schools closed. I also saw inflation coming as inputs and building materials shot up during the trade war. During the last president, I can’t imagine a company raising consumer costs and bragging about their pricing like they do now. They’d have a militia busting in with a gallows the very next day.

  It might be argued that this was the preferred outcome as a healthcare collapse would be worse. Of course they are connected but I'm afraid that it's impossible to debate it without getting political and the priests are eager to call heresy when you go against their dogma.

  I haven't had a cost of living increase since 2008, covid came onto the scene in very late 2019...
